Los Angeles Sailings Begin March 2026? Brilliant Lady...

[Oren]

Looks like "west coasters" will have new 3/4 day cruise options (every Sunday and Thursday) beginning March 2026. We will see if this really happens...

I'd book that in a heartbeat. Do you think it is legit?

I also found it there but when I searched other possible ports that she might be going to I came up with nothing. She will pop up somewhere and then disappear. So it is definitely a guessing game.

No official word from Virgin Voyages on Brilliant Lady. On the Deployment Grid she is shown in Q4 2025 with "Coming Soon."  We are expecting some new announcements from VV in May. I would say stay tuned for that release.

Its official! Our research was right. The rumors were right. L.A. starting March 2026!

Nothing is showing in their booking engine at this time. May 8th it will go live.

P.S. For you hammock lovers, they will have a new type of Sea Terrace with two hammocks 🙂

Alaska - I will definitely be looking at that one.

They will be on deck 8 due to the lifeboats being further in for the Panama Canal. So most will be limited view.

But people love those darn things so we'll see if it balances 🙂

It must be a different style of hammock to fit since it would already be tight on the current balconies and these balconies will be smaller.
